This show is all about songs – jazz & standards – that are all at least 7 minutes long & no longer than 7:59.
While this was intended to be an “easy” show to produce & record – which it was – it also comes in just under 3 hours. That’s what happens when you play twenty 7 minute songs, I s’pose!
ENJOY!

This show was a no-brainer when a work colleague pointed out to me that Coltrane would have turned 89 this year.
